Light Up a Life this Holiday Season
Light Up a Life is a cherished community event during the holiday season when we come together to honour our loved ones who have died by dedicating a glowing, beautiful light in their name.
When you dedicate a light, you’ll see your loved one’s name and photo projected on our Community Wall at Hospice Halifax.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice palliative care means providing opportunities for patients and families to uniquely address practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while preparing for the patient’s death.
Every year, Hospice Halifax welcomes approximately 150 terminally ill patients facing the end of life, including vulnerable seniors, people living with physical disabilities, and people who are precariously housed.
With Your Support,
We Can Do More
In order for us to continue to provide the best end of life care free of charge, reaching our fundraising goals is imperative.
Our objective is to make hospice care equitably available to all members of our community regardless of their setting of care.
All gifts to the hospice, no matter the size, help us reach our fundraising target of $1 million a year.
